Adams County Woman Supervisor Seeks Funds to Improve Locust Boulevard
Adams County's first woman supervisor Dr. Germann proposed a permanent plan to upgrade Locust Boulevard and Twenty Street from Locust to Harrison. The measure passed to form a committee with four townships to oversee the project, funded by state aid roads and local shares. A count showed majority support for dedicating funds to designated state aid roads, while some opposed broader distribution. The board also approved various bridge and road projects across Lima, Ellington, Melrose, Payson, and other townships and set committees to coordinate state highway efforts.
